Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 407

‘Unlike you, she’s much better at handling these situations.’

What he said was true. As a public relations specialist, Jessica was really better when it came to

handling such social events. Still, I was uncomfortable with the idea that Dylan booked his date to look

for me. Then I remembered the disinterested look in her eyes when he looked at her and asked, ‘Dylan,

I have a question and you need to answer me honestly.’

‘What is it?’

‘Are you serious with Jessica or the same as the other women before?’

‘This matters?’

The fact that he didn’t directly answer my question pissed me off a bit, and I said, ‘Of course. I was the

one who introduced her to you in hopes that you would accept her and have a stable relationship with

her. I don’t want you to treat her like you did your previous girlfriends. To understand?’

‘I understand,’ he replied. The expression in his eyes dropped, as did his smile, which was how he

used to get whenever he was unhappy.

‘Did you really understand? Besides, you haven’t even replied to me yet. Do you really like her?

‘No, it’s just that the pressure from Mr. Hawkins is too much. As you know, he wants me to have Callie,

but I don’t like her and I can’t directly reject her. So I brought Jessica here as a shield,’ he admitted.

Enraged, I went at Dylan like a machine gun. ‘How can you do that? Just tell my dad directly that you

don’t like Callie, as he has no right to force you to like her! Also, don’t you have other girls you’re

having a complicated relationship with? Why didn’t you use one of them but chose Jessica? Don’t you

know she likes you a lot? How can you take advantage of her like that?’

‘Lily, I know I’m wrong about this, so I’ll take care of this right.’ Instead of arguing with me, Dylan chose

to explain himself rationally.

‘How are you going to take care of this? Unless you fall in love with Jessica and marry her, anything

else you do isn’t right!’

‘Do you really want me to marry someone else?’ he asked with a complex look in his eyes. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

‘It’s not like I want you to marry just anyone. For example, Callie is not right for you because she will

only cause you problems if you marry her. In contrast to this, Jessica is smart, understanding, and

capable. She won’t give you trouble if she’s married to you.

‘I’m not deciding my marriage partner based on how much trouble she’s going to bring me, but because

I like her. As long as I like her, I’m willing to face all the problems she brings me every day. On the

contrary, it’s useless even though it can bring me tons of benefits every day’, he rebutted, which was a

rare occasion. ‘Also, you can’t just judge a book by its cover and you must understand a person

carefully. Some people are hard to tell if they are kind just on the surface.

‘Are you implying that Jessica is not a good person?’ I asked defiantly. ‘I’ve known her for five years, so

I know her personality better than you, no doubt.’

“You still don’t understand what I mean. There are some people you know you can trust from the first

date, just like Isabella, while others you don’t. Not to mention five years, but you might not even know a

person after a decade. I won’t comment on what kind of person Jessica is, but it’s a fact that I don’t like

her.’

In the end it turned out that he was going out of his way to tell me he didn’t like Jessica, and that made

me unhappy. ‘You’ve only spent a short amount of time with her, so how do you know you’re not

compatible? Don’t you know that familiarity breeds affection?
